Smart and engaged coworkers and management who are connected to the mission and want to do the right thing. Competitive salary and benefits. Work hard and feel a sense of satisfaction for helping mankind solve challenging issues with some brilliant science and technology.

Cons

Recent staff reductions and charged to strategy with outcome of getting to a sustainable future with competitive rates and lower costs. Given Battelle’s history of reductions, this has been tough. It is for the greater good. New CEO and new and existing leadership team are highly engaged and making Battelle better.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
